I read his book when it came out. I wasn't overly enthused—it lacked nuance, as I recall—but it was for a general audience and it was written less out of scholarly inquiry than to influence current politics. Which is fine and all, but I'm usually not a fan of that kind of work.

But he's for an upper-class tax cut and hates Muslims and homos and kneeling athletes. Wonder which will count for more?

For all their hot air about being more moral than Jesus himself, conservatives have been a lot more reluctant to follow thru on actually condemning their own when accused than liberals.

The sad thing is that it's all entirely predictable. All these Christian principles they espouse are weapons to be used against others, not ideals to live by. The only principles they truly adhere to are "fuck you" aimed at select groups.

I know that when I was hit on by a man in his 30's when I was 14 (I was at a Bar Mitzvah party, had braces and was committing the provocative act of standing with my friends), I basically ran crying for my mommy.
